The painting table this week

As those of you who read my blog regularly, or know me personnally might know or have realised I tend to jump around a bit in my hobby time

Nothing shows it quite as well as my paint table.

Three Game Systems, and one of those game systems has three sets of models all at different levels of painting.

Lots more pictures after the jump!

This is pretty much a typical evening of painting for me.

First up we have a Cataphractti Terminator with Lightning Claws, all ready to rumble, with just his base needing finishing.

Hiding behind him is the Cataphractti Captain.

Next up we have the rest of the Cataphractti terminators, again awaiting their base for them to be considered truly finished.

Here we have the LR6 Crones from the Works Raptor Recon Helix for Planetfall, if you look closely (and please don't) you may be able to see the one that got ruined when my spray can when overdoes on red!

Here is a quick snap of the Covenant of Antartica Dreadnought for Dystopian Wars, I still haven't managed any major games of this since 2.0 came out but I do like the models so am slowly painting my way through them.

This one its the Cron.... no wait! Its the 5 Tactical marines, just two shades of blue of them, and a further 15 awaiting their second shade, but by painting them in batches of 5 I hope not to kill myself before I finish them, and hopefully will have them all done before the next 30k boxed set comes out, assuming the rumours are true!

The Chaplin, although I don't think I will use him in that capacity. He has more paint than the Tactical Marines, but less than the Terminators, although he is coming along nicely he still needs a bit more work!

The same guy from the back, really enjoying painting the cloaks... next time I hope to have some more shots of Roboute Gilliman.

So first up, some time to consider what I should be using for this weekend, I already have a balanced list without Guilliman that shouldnt be too much of an ass to play against, but doesnt really make it easy to get top 40.

So I recently got my hands on the latest edition of Necromunda, here are some quick unboxing snaps.

When you take the top off you are greeted with the usual mass of sprues, and some nice Orange templates... although I have to admit I still have about ten of each! Six sprues in total are included

Removing the sprues and you can see the pack of cards, dice and model bases.

The tiles are neatly shrinkwrapped and look pretty awesome as well.

As is the rulebook --- somehow two days on and I have still avoided removing the shrink wrap while I prep the rest of the box! You also get a very nice guide to how to assemble the models, what it doesnt cover is the mass of spares you get (something I will go into, in another post!

Pulling out the terrain, and i thought it would be worth comparing some of the old style bulkheads that you got in the original Necromunda to the newer ones. The difference is obvious with an overall shorter height and wider body.

I didn't see this coming, and despite perhaps having fallen out of love with Spartan Games, I didn't want the company to close.

The email (as their website appears unreachable at the time of writing this).
